Green stuff and a bit of glue later.
So I'm checking my paints, as I know I have all the Space Wolf greys that I need, I just don't remember where I put them. Plan A is to start painting this on Friday with Saturday devoted to it.
This isn't a 1st Legion Praetor, this is actually going with the squad of Inner Circle Companions.
It took a very long time for this to come back in stock. I never actually checked if all those out of stock items are back on the GW Web store.
It's been so hot and long the ushabati bone had dried up, so this one got a screaming skull base coat, a coat of abandon black on the armour and 3 coats of carroburg crimson on the robes.
I went with the green highlights to keep it in theme with the Inner Circle Companions. The robes had a dry brush with evil sun scarlet.
The head had a coat of darkoath flesh contrast.
The base I'm going to add astrogranit technical.
I have an odd day coming up this week which should allow me to grad some replacement paints.
Packing the last member of the Risen with the rest of the squad. Maybe needs a tactical rock for the preator to stand on for the added height.
I was sat looking at this this week when I wasn't doing other stuff.
I remembered that I have a couple of new on sprue Gregor Fell Hand and thought I should probably use one of those lightning claws on the left hand. I'm using the axe from the Deamon Prince sprue.
The power pack has been green stuffed onto the back and the arms are green stuffed on the shoulder plates, which have also been moved around.
I'm thinking of adding the topper from the power pack, either on the skull in the middle or on the clipped off exhaust stub.
Yeah, so that run of no time off is still ongoing. By the time I get to my week of at the end of the month I will have had 5 days off since June the 28th. The wages have been great but I'm not getting a damn break, my day off is spent clearing and cooking.
Plan A at least get a couple of the Terminators built from the Space Wolf Terminators and get some practice on the paint scheme I'm using on the Satanine Preator. With some of the issues at work I'm dealing with, I'll be happy to get those done.
Not much to review
Those mk2 Crusade suits look great.
The mk2 Preator I think will look good no matter which chapter it'll be painted for, I'm sure I'm fairly sure that as of this moment I'm painting them Dark Angels with the green highlights.
The Satanine Terminators...
I'm going to have to build them before I make a decision, but I'm really looking forward to getting the box home and having a comfy look through the box with a coffee on Saturday.
The Satanine Preator ; yeah I'm looking forward to doing this one.
The Satanine Dreadnought. It uses a similar elbow style to the plastic Contemptor, so the. 5mm thick magnets should fit. {I'm at work till tomorrow evening so don't can't check, but I'm sure someone had already got a video uploaded with a magnet guide.
The turret, one of my game group says his us going together nicely.
And the accessories sprue that you get 4 of, those lightning claws are going to get used at some point for sure.
Saturday Plan.
Note to self, need milk for the coffee.
Friday wash the cafetiere.
Saturday make coffee.
Unbox Death's Head and get him out.
Unbox Satanine, decide a build plan. Have a look through the book for background. Check the GW Web store and see how much the separate boxes of everything cost, find out how big a squad of Satanine Terminators can actually be.
Drink coffee and eat toast.
I've had 1 singular day where I haven't woken up at work since June the 28th, my next waking up in my bed day off is Saturday, even though I'm on call I've put myself down for unavailable on the work time sheet app.
So as you can imagine with zero free time, or getting home mid morning and just being drained I've just not had time to get anything done, as I've mostly napped and cooked when I have had the rare wake up at work day. The bad thing is it doesn't get better for the next 2 weeks.
What have I done hobby wise?
Very little.
I've picked up one of the Forge World Chaplin dreadnoughts that has been stripped and is unassembled, which I think is a bonus.
And after checking my save the pennies account topped £175, I had enough to buy Satanine from my local 3rd party store, and was on the verge of ordering it when the mate I bought the dread off shared a screen shot of the Satanine box for £126 plus change. I've got that being delivered to work tomorrow. I can't see myself getting a massive amount done before my week off at the end of the month, what with mornings off and waking up at work.
So plan A. Get a couple of the Space Wolf Terminators built to use as test pieces for painting the Satanine Preator, at least build the Preator before the week off.
Fingers crossed I can get some work done on the 2 major conversions I have under way.
Also, after 2 refunds, one stolen off my door step and one lost in the post office I finally got hold of Death's Head action figure and totally buggered the re sell value by taking it out of the box to get a better look at it. The printed background in the box could be handy as well. So far it's just photoshopped but will try something on Monday
